Tasting Notes: Layered and expressive, the nose opens with aromas of ripe Bosc pear and preserved lemon, accented by delicate notes of chamomile tea and fennel pollen. As the wine evolves in the glass, subtle hints of marzipan and lanolin emerge, adding depth and complexity. The palate is textured yet vibrant, balancing generous orchard fruit flavors with mouth-watering acidity that keeps the wine fresh and focused. A lingering finish showcases the harmonious interplay of richness, freshness, and savory nuance that defines this Rhône-inspired blend.

More Information:  Crafted from 75% Roussanne and 25% Marsanne grown at One Way Vineyard in the Texas High Plains, this Rhône-inspired white blend showcases the remarkable potential of Texas-grown Mediterranean varieties. The high elevation, abundant sunshine, and cool nighttime temperatures of the Texas High Plains allow the grapes to achieve full flavor development while retaining vibrant natural acidity. Fermented in stainless steel and aged for five months before bottling, this wine balances richness and freshness, offering a textured palate and inviting aromatics. Inspired by the classic white wines of France’s Rhône Valley but distinctly Texan in character, this blend is equally at home on a restaurant table or a Texas porch at sunset.

The Region

Texas High Plains
Texas
United States

A vast AVA across the Texas Panhandle and South Plains around Lubbock, established in 1993 and covering more than 8 million acres on the flat, elevated Llano Estacado. Most vineyards sit at 3,000–4,000 feet, where intense sunshine, low humidity, sandy soils, and cool nights create ideal grape-growing conditions. This is the workhorse of Texas viticulture, supplying an estimated 80 percent of the state’s wine grapes — standout Tempranillo, Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Viognier, and Roussanne. Most Hill Country wineries, including many around Fredericksburg, source a large share of their fruit here.
